It's time to roll! Yang Hanjun will head to the U.S. on August 9: participating in various training sessions and official rookie programs.

On August 7, Beijing time, reporter Zhou Peng reported that after a brief rest and the completion of personal visa procedures, Yang Hanjun will set off again for the U.S. on August 9, continuing his preparation journey for the NBA rookie season.

Zhou Peng stated that in addition to joining the team in Portland for the preseason training camp, Hanjun will also travel to other cities to participate in various training sessions and specialized camps. He will continue to take part in the official rookie training programs organized by the league and the team. As we look forward to Hanjun completing his development before the new season starts, every step counts.

During his time back home, Yang Hanjun undoubtedly attracted more attention and began to experience some of the inconveniences that come with rising popularity. No matter where he goes, fans often take pictures or ask for photos. Perhaps not wanting to be in the spotlight, Hanjun's girlfriend shyly covered her face when faced with fans' cameras. Recently, Yang Hanjun and his girlfriend spent a few days traveling in Xinjiang, where they were spotted by several fans.

After a brief rest, Yang Hanjun is ready to roll. Previously, renowned journalist Ben Golliver discussed Hanjun's current situation. "After negotiations, Yang Hanjun did not participate in the Asian Cup. His team should also realize that the player's future is still uncertain. He is a mid-first-round pick, not a lottery selection, and previously projected as a second-round pick in mock drafts. They know Yang is not the team's first choice right now, so they want to focus on the NBA, developing step by step and making progress, rather than getting involved in other matters. This is my personal interpretation of the situation."

The Trail Blazers' short training camp will begin on August 11, consisting of two sessions designed for rookies and players needing further development based on the summer league. During the summer league, Yang Hanjun averaged 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.3 blocks per game. Although he had impressive performances, there were also clear areas for improvement. Participating in the short training camp will better prepare him for the subsequent specialized training, training camp, preseason, and even the regular season. Let's wish Hanjun a successful rookie season.
